This is my Third Jeep, I've had a 89 YJ, had and still have a 47 CJ2a mild crawler and now this Jeep. It's an 93 YJ that I picked up for $1000 from a guy in South lion, he bought the Jeep new back in 94 and DD it until 2000. After that the jeep went to the High school auto shop class with his son and it was there class project. The instructor must not have known SHIT because there were so many things done wrong and poorly on this rig that it looked like a 10 year old had been wrenching on it! I've had the jeep for almost a year now, bought it on May 7th of last year so this thread is a little late and I've done a TON to it so far, so I'll just be getting caught up here.

I'll list the specs of it when I bought it and how it sits now.
• 60K 4.0HO from a 96 ZJ
• Rebuilt 32RH zero miles
• NP231
• RC 4" lift
• 3" BL
• Open 3.07 D30/35
• Missmatched rollers

I found a good deal on some old school MT/R's 33/12.5/15 for like 100 bucks or something. Got those mounted up and took it on its first road trip, 600 mile round trip and it had only been driving for 2 days prior to that.

Did some light wheeling in the Traverse city area

Took this about a mile down the road from my house, probably one of my favorite pics.

This is where I figured out my frame was rotting out and would eventually need replaced.

Did some more wheeling

At this point I was driving on a D35 with stripped spider gears and it was really starting to go, so I swapped in a 29 spline c8.25 I had sitting in my yard which only had like 80K on it.

Also installed a SYE and TW shaft at the same time

At this point I was still riding on the PO installed RC 4" springs. They road like shit and were sagging badly. I got some OME 2.5" springs and am very impressed with them. I plan on XJ spring stretch in the future so these are great for now.

Where about in Traverse City do you go wheeling? Let me know the next time you go. I should have my jeep running soon.

A lot of these pics are on my property out on the Williamsburg/kalaska side of TC but I go wheeling out off 72 in between Acme and kalaska and supply Rd a lot, tons of good trails out there. Twisted trails is always a good time and I go there quite a bit.
